Carista was waiting for his daughter to be dropped off at his Rensselaer County auto sales business Tuesday afternoon. Surveillance video from his business shows the girl stepping off the bus and nearly getting hit by an SUV that passed the stopped bus on the road’s right shoulder. The SUV driver kept going.

Troopers initially said the SUV was a Jeep Liberty that may have Canadian or out-of-state plates.
